    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The church at Corinth was boasting and their heads were swelling with pride as we say but not over a good thing! There was a man having a sexual relationship with his stepmom in the church and the church was boasting about this sin instead of putting an end to it. Paul says, “What are yall doing? I’m not even there and I have already judged the guy. Get him out of your fellowship, turn him over to Satan, and don’t even have a meal with him.” We can learn a great lesson from the church at Corinth...Sin is serious and it should not be tolerated. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;John the Baptizer loses his head because Herodias wanted to show how powerful she is! Herod put John in prison hoping to appease his wife but it wasn't good enough for her. She was working behind the scenes, scheming, and manipulating to get her way not caring who she used or affected, including her own daughter. While he wa sin prison, John doubted Jesus and sent his disciples to ask for some reassurance. Jesus sent a message back to John and basically said, "I am who I am and you can die in peace." Jesus could have rescued John but he didn't and we have to realize that suffering is a part of life, but we can trust that God is with us through it all.  &lt;/p&gt;
